Recycling Batteries Responsibly
The European Directive on Batteries and Accumulators aims to minimise the impact of batteries on the environment and encourage the recovery of the materials they contain. In the UK, regulations on the recycling of batteries and accumulators (rechargeable batteries) were Introduced in 2009. The Waste Batteries Regulations aim to significantly increase UK collection and recycling of used portable batteries from 3% in 2007 to 25% by 2012, rising to at least 45% in 2016.
The battery symbol on a product or on its packaging indicates that the product must not be disposed of with general household waste. Instead, it is the consumer's responsibility to dispose of their waste batteries at a designated collection point so that they can be recycled. The separate collection and recycling of batteries at the time of dispo sal will help to conserve natural resources and ensure that they are recycled in a manner that protects human health and the environment. A comprehensive list of battery recycling centres can be obtained from: www.recycle-more.co.uk
All Samsung products that are subject to the Batteries Directive are compliant with the UK battery and accumulator Requirements.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"My husband and I had a destination wedding that many close friends and family were not able to attend. These cards made it possible to give them an idea of how beautiful our day really was - it carried the beach them out with the palm tree but I loved that I was able to put a photo of our wedding day on the beach with it. Everyone LOVED recieving our cards!!!"
"We ordered the Tropical Tryst for the invites and these go really well with them. I really like WeddingPaperDivas quality for the price! I'll be ordering from them any chance I have!"
"This card was the perfect way to make a last impression on our guests for our wedding, thanking them for being there and sharing an image of my husband and I after we took our vows! The card was elegant, yet modern. The Wedding Paper Divas Team always is quick on the orders and the end product is amazing! I used Wedding Paper Divas as well for my Rehearsal Dinner Invitations and Wedding Program. The team also gives a personal touch to the orders with the proof process, so you feel like it is more of a personal shopping experience online!"
"Classy, elegant and of extreme high quality, these thank you cards were the icing on the cake for our guests and a beautiful memento of our special day. The style of this contemporary card complimented the theme of our wedding ' understated elegance'! The packaging was really strong so that the cards were in perfect condition when they arrived. Outstanding quality and service - thank you Wedding Paper Divas!"
"I used this card for wedding thank you cards. I loved the bright green splash of color, which gave our photo some very nice contrast. Also, the "off center" design was modern and let us use an off-centered picture. The paper quality was good enough to stand up to inky gel and fountain pens (without smudging), which added to the personal touch of a hand-written card."

High school football season is still almost 50 days away teams and players from around Virginia, and some from outside the Commonwealth, got a chance to show off their talent Saturday at the Mike London Football Camp 7-on-7's and Big Man Clinic.
"There's a lot of great talent out here," London said. "The opportunities we wanted to present to high school coaches in and around the state from Georgia, Carolina, all over the place is to come here and let their players be taught by our coaches and college coaches and high school staff guys and also compete."
Over 40 teams attended the 7-on-7 Camp from as far away as Pennsylvania and Georgia.
They took the fields at The Park and U-Hall practice field to compete in tournament-style action.
Two local teams, Western Albemarle and Charlottesville, participated in the event.
Western is the reigning Jefferson District champions, winning the title in head coach Ed Redmond's first season with the team. Redmond brought the Warriors to camp last season and had them back again Saturday.
"You know it's a good start. It's a good start. Our kids, the first thing I look for is that they compete. They challenge themselves to try and be better than their opponent," Redmond said.
Redmond is the envy of coaches around central Virginia because the Warriors will bring back the reigning Offensive Player of the Year in quarterback Kent Henry.
The senior took full advantage of the camp to work on creating chemistry with his teammates.
"You know we've been working all spring and it's nice to finally come out here and put all the parts together and see how it's working," Henry explained. "We've got a few new kids coming out. Just put the athletes on the field and let them prove themselves for the season."
The team Western knocked out of last year's playoffs, Charlottesville, was also at the camp. Eric Sherry's bunch made its first playoff appearance in over a decade and the Black Knight head coach is hoping today's effort is another step in making the team a consistent winner.
"Most spring times you get involved in 7v7's, tournaments, any type of competition like this," Sherry said. "Obviously this being held in our backyard, it's a good thing for us to be here and see what we can do."
Meanwhile the Big Man Camp offered over 200 offensive and defensive lineman from Virginia and outside the Commonwealth a chance to take part in drills and "one-on-one" competition, all under the watchful eye of London and his coaching staff.
One of those defensive players, Jeremiah Clarke, is a highly sought-after defensive end from T.C. Williams.
He's rated as a three-star recruit by Rivals.com and lists UVa, Virginia Tech, Tennessee and Miami among his suitors.

Bear Hunter Rights Coalition MeetingUS Sportsmen's Alliance, Bear Hunting Magazine
Unyielding attacks on the sport have led bear hunting organizations to fight back! Bear hunting organizations from across the country and the U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance established a permanent bear hunting protection group - the Bear Hunter Rights Coalition. Bear hunters who do not already belong are encouraged to join the coalition and protect bear hunting from the seemingly endless attacks of the anti-hunters.
Bear Hunting Leaders to Meet, Fortify Defense
The USSA will host an annual meeting to allow bear hunting organizations to lend input and support to the USSA coalition established to provide permanent protection for their sport. Bear hunters from across the country will send representatives to the Bear Hunter Rights Coalition (BHRC) National Meeting on June 22-23 at the USSA National Headquarters in Columbus, Ohio. The meeting will open Friday with an evening reception for members and prospective associates. The business meeting will be held Saturday from 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
The USSA will report on legislative campaigns and litigation in which the BHRC is involved to protect bear hunting. Members will evaluate recent campaigns, propose innovative ideas for gaining additional support, and prepare for future anti-hunting assaults. Bear hunters have become a prime target for the anti's. The BHRC has stopped efforts to ban bear hunting at the state and federal levels, but it must have the ideas and support of bear hunters across the country to maintain a successful record. Contact the USSA at (614) 888-4868 or firstname.lastname@example.com to register. Attendees will be responsible for travel and hotel arrangements.
Join the Bear Hunter Rights Coalition
Do your part to protect the right to bear hunt!

Clutter is a common home decor for families with young children. Parents aggregate an abominable hodgepodge of kid gear that only grows as their children get older. A recent report by UCLA's Center on Everyday Lives of Families found that each new child in a household "leads to a 30-percent increase in a family's inventory of possessions during the preschool years alone." Organization expert Tracy McCubbin says the source of the clutter is delayed decision-making. On Easy Does It with Ereka Vitrini, McCubbin shares simple ways families can free their homes -- and lives -- of clutter by letting go.
Related: How to look hot in a minivan
"I come from a family of hoarders so I just see people, what I like to say is, they're being owned by their stuff," says McCubbin, "and it's super emotional and we don't know what to let go of. We don't know how to make kind of smarter, unemotional decisions about our stuff." McCubbin runs dClutterfly, where she works to help their customers change their relationship with their belongings.
Get your kids involved in de-cluttering your home.McCubbin says the first step in dealing with clutter is to start with the purge. "Look at your food cupboard and say, my family's never gonna to eat creamed corn, my family's never gonna eat this. Take that food; donate it to the local food bank."
Next up, find clever ways to use what you already have as storage options. Paper towel holders can be used to store camera cords or computer cables. A bento box could be used as portable storage on a desk. "Containment is the name of the game," says McCubbin.
The expert de-clutterer also recommends that if parents have young children, make early decisions about what you want to keep and what you are willing to part with...especially when it comes to artwork. McCubbin encourages parents to display artwork. "If you think it's worth keeping, then put it up."

Friday & Saturday: 6:00 p.m to 11:00 p.m.
Campy in all the best ways. Settle in for a strong tiki drink and watch it rain inside while the band plays Martin Denny-inflected tunes.
How could the Tonga Room not be a beloved place? It rains! Indoors! There are fruity rum drinks and thatched huts to drink them in. Love this place, and if it goes I'll mourn it to the end of my days.
Great - if you're over 65 – This place is about to be shut down and repurposed and it's just as well. The rain and thunder showers were probably impressive decades ago but seem cheesy now. The band - which cost a $7 cover charge - played tunes from the 70s. They seemed talented but didn't sing a tune I recognized so I didn't enjoy it much, although the older folks dancing on the floor seemed to be having a good time. The drinks were waaaaaay overpriced. At least the service was friendly and fast! The creme brule dessert was so drenched in alcohol it was inedible, at least to me. 30 minutes and $45 later, we left disappointed. Steer clear if you're under 40!
Ambiance Is Great. Food & Drinks Pretty Good. – Ah-Oooo-GAH! My wife and I had cocktails and dinner at the Tonga Room a few days ago and were very happy with the experience. The room has been around since 1945 (it was the pool in the earlier part of the last century) so it's been around for a while; and is in great shape / under great management.
POSITIVES: The ambiance is wonderful, with the small lagoon and floating stage that resembles a boat. I loved the tropical downpour / thunderstorm effects that presage the beginning of the evening's entertainment. The Mai Tais were good & strong, so they do not skimp on rum. The food was also good, but not great. I loved the decor: with the thatched roofs, "lagoon" and the dance floor that looks just like the deck of a ship- complete with rat lines, block(s) and tackle etc...
NEGATIVES: The music, while pleasant enough had nay neither a surfing tune nor a lounge lizard song anywhere in the repertoire! Alas! The songs were mostly old disco tunes (Donna Summer, Bee Gees etc...) so that marred the ambiance somewhat. And as wonderful as the decor was / is, there weren't enough tikis! To those tiki aficionados looking for a kitschy tiki experience- this may not be the place 4 you! There are no Japanese glass floats, dried blow fish etc... While the Mai Tais were good, the taste of the canned pineapple juice lingered somewhat unpleasantly. I know- if they used genuine juice the price would go up 20% or more so there is that :-) And I wished the wait staff had more colorful / tropical attire. Dressed as they are / were in standard black / white uniforms they did nothing to add to the Polynesian theme.
A San Francisco Tradition – Went on dancing dates there 50 years ago and recently returned to find it just as enjoyable. Happy hour food and drinks were very reasonable. A tropical drink with a paper umbrella and fruit is fun. We stayed around for dancing and were not hassled to buy more drinks. Since it was my birthday, I was even given a fancy dessert to celebrate. Although it's fun to dress up you can be comfortable in casual attire. A stroll through the elegant Fairmont lobby
capped off the evening.
fab fab fab – One of the few Tongan restaurants outside of Tonga! Worth a visit to sample the south pafic cusine for this small island.
love this place - and its retro style – okay, while living in the bay area, i used to come here for an occasional happy hour. the drinks were good and the free buffet - decent. a few months ago, my mom and i came up to sf for a friend's wedding. my friends live around the sunset and richmond district. however, we decided to stay at the orchard garden (great hotel). exhausted, i had one of my friends meet me at the hotel and decided to walk somewhere closeby. we wanted to go to a place, where you can bring mom, to drink and have fun. wise choice... the filippino band was amazing. playing everything from top 40 to class rock 'n roll. and, we could tell they enjoyed jamming. (appreciated their non-cheesy renditions). since, we never had eaten a meal at this establishment, we ordered appetizers and drinks. after tasting the fried rice and everything else we ordered, we regretted not ordering a meal. the food was good. and, would have cost as much as what we spent on appetizers. (i am definitely going back for food). another thing i enjoyed about this place - you can come dressed however you would like. it is also a place you can come dressed in the attire (which you would never wear again, otherwise) you purchased to attend the opera or that wedding in 2005. its fun to get dressed up - the kind of "dress-up" wear you would watch your mother put on when she would go out on weekends or used to don when you were first in college - going to a nice restaurant with your group of friends- and tried to be "adult." this is definitely the place where you can wear your pearl choker and cocktail dress.
Wow! This place is really tacky. – It feels like like the perfect venue for a Goldman Sachs office party or something. We could picture a senior VP getting drunk on Mai Tais (which are quite good actually) and hitting on an intern as the faux Polynesian band belts out Journey. Nothing against Goldman Sachs really. We were just being juvenile and imaginative (drunk). I guess the festive mood does have an effect.
Just remember to visit this place with low expectations and take in all the cheese. It's like an episode of Montel. You want to turn it off but your having too much fun enjoying how bad it is. And for that it get two stars instead of one.
Poor Drinks, Bad Service, Incredible Decor, Astonishing Prices – They just reopened Thursday after renovations, seems unchanged. 6 of us, we ordered ~10 drinks over the course of the evening. The Singapore Sling and Mai Tai were terrible, the French 100 - a champagne cocktail - was totally flat - no sparkle at all, the service was so slow that it was too difficult to send the drink back. The bus-boy cleared away my 'souvenir glass' without asking. The Planter's P*nch was pretty good, the shitake egg rolls were excellent as was the almond garlic tapenade on flatbread. The band was entertaining, some of their songs were quite good - fun to dance to.
The decor is incredible, the monsoon rain is fun - if heavily chlorinated. It was $245 for 6 people - two appetizers, 10 or 11 drinks, and the $7 per person cover charge for the live entertainment.
How can this place have a 5 star rating when it gets so many well deserved bad reviews?
FWIW, we throw cocktail parties and really know good cocktails, we have all of Jerry Berry's recipe books, we know what they are supposed to taste like.
bad valet parking – I took my aunty at Tonga room for her birthday along with my sisters and it was bad the minute we arrived at the place.....I stopped in front of the Fairmont hotel and the valet attendant asked if we were checking in and I so no we are having dinner and he said that I am not allowed to do valet parking not unless I pay $50 for a valet parking, I thought it was rediculous for him to say I am not allowed to park there but I told him I didn't care if I have t pay that amount and he kept asking me at least 4 times and I was very offended just because I am Pacific Islander driving a very expensive car and I am young he assumed right away that I cannot afford to be there, that was very rude. When we got to the restaurants the lady set us on the cocktail side not asking if we were ging to have dinner or what not. Finally I told her we want to have dinner and she gave us attitude, the food was not very good and for the price it is absolutely not worth it, average chinese food nothing special. I do not like that place especially the valet parrking which I found out I didn't even have to pay for parking the attendant simply didn't like us because he felt like he was below us..... And we just wanted to have a good birthday celebration ft my aunty.

Australia's biggest shake in 15 years
24 March 2012
A magnitude 6.1 earthquake occurred near Ernabella, a remote South Australian aboriginal community about 320km south west of Alice Springs, at 8:25pm AEST on 23 March.
"This is the largest earthquake to have shaken Australia in 15 years. An earthquake of this size has the potential to cause minor damage to nearby communities, but we have not had any reports of damage so far. It was likely to have been felt as far away as Alice Springs, Coober Pedy and Oodnadatta," said Seismologist, Dr David Jepsen.
"There have been numerous aftershocks, the largest one measuring magnitude 3.4. While we expect these to continue, they will drop off in magnitude and frequency over time'" Dr Jepsen said.
"This is the third earthquake in the area over the past week - a magnitude 4.3 earthquake on 16 March, followed by a magnitude 3.8 on 20 March.
"These intra-plate earthquakes occur due to the release of stress that has built up in the Earth's crust, caused by movement of the tectonic plates. The Australian continent is part of the Indian-Australian plate which is being pushed slowly north-east at approximately 7cm per year. South Australia is being slowly squeezed sideways by about 0.1mm each year.
"On average, there are about 200 earthquakes of magnitude 3 or more in Australia each year. Earthquakes above magnitude 5.5, such as the 5.6 magnitude event in Newcastle in 1989, occur on average every two years. Earthquakes of a magnitude 6 or greater are much less frequent. The largest earthquake in Australia occurred in 1941 in Meeberrie, Western Australia, estimated at a magnitude of 7.3," said Dr Jepsen.
As a part of the Australian Government's Administrative Orders, Geoscience Australia has a role in monitoring, analyzing and reporting all earthquakes that can be located in Australia, as well as any significant earthquakes occurring overseas.
The agency monitors seismic data in near real time on a 24/7 basis, using data from over 60 stations on the Australian National Seismic Network and over 130 stations worldwide. The seismic data is delivered by various digital satellite and broadband communication systems to the agency's central processing facility in Canberra.

Where better to start building than in such a program as this? Held in a school where the Dean (David Pfrimmer) sometimes mentions that, It is not just about what knowledge you obtain in school, but what kind of person you become

Mohun Lal, aged 28 in 1844 October 1844
- Scottish Art
Mohun Lal arrived in Edinburgh in October 1844. He had been the companion of the government agent, Sir Alexander Burnes (1805-1841), in Kabul in Afghanistan. After his death, Mohun Lal had 'at the risk of his life entered Sir Alexander's mansion when it was in flames and secured his private papers', and travelled to Scotland to return them to Burnes's family in Montrose. The newspaper report added: 'He has a remarkably pleasant and highly intellectual cast of countenance, and is dressed in a magnificent Hindoo costume'.

BEST PLACE IN LB! – I have been going to LB for years to find fun places and this one warrented a review. If you like a place with a view then look no further. It's at the top of the Breakers hotel and has the best view on LB! You have to go in the evening and watch the sunset.
Besides the great view there is live music, dancing, good martinis, a GREAT wine list, delicious food and impecible service.
Try the Gnocchi!
Outstanding – This place is amazing, after going there just once i am hooked. The food is outstanding, the service cant be beat, the view is breath taking. The rooftop bar UP loubge is the most fun ive had in a long time. Unbelievable DJ, Great Drink specials. Heard it was expensive, not true. Drinks are well worth it. Menu is well rounded a, Plus tapas in UP lounge (rooftop). Very friendly, top notch. Highly recommend it.
LOVED IT! – What a great place to relax and get a great steak. Will be back soon!
WOW! – I'll make this short and sweet:LOVED THE VIEWS, LOVE THE SERVICE, LOVE THE FOOD! While your there check out the upstairs bar, best tapas and drinks I've ever had.
Consistent Every Time! – I just read what the previous reviewer had to say....I have been to The Sky Room now on a number of occasions and have always had a consistently great experience. Perhaps the previous reviewer had it bad because it was Valentine's Day, a notoriously tough day for even the best of restaurants. I would suggest when you go to dine there, ask for either Marty or Jeffrey. These two are the best waiters in the business. Marty is personable and knowledgeable, and makes you feel like family. Jeffrey is smooth and seamless, and his service is impeccable. You will want for nothing, I assure you. I will only make reservations if one of these two gentleman are going to wait on me.
While the food may not be the best in Southern California, the service more than makes up for it - and the view? Who can beat those views? I highly suggest going to the roof top bar and sipping a Grey Goose Martini. It doesn't get any better!
Horrible Valetine dinner experience and customer service please also read update – According to advertisement 4-course dinner included box of chocolates and rose. Well I never received the box and the rose was taken from another table who customers just vacated by waitress. Asked to leave upon finishing dinner while enjoying the band (which started 30 min late) because according to the manager "charlie" they over booked the night and they needed the tables. However other older couples never were apporach only my husband and i and another younger looking couple. Horribe experience would never eat here again or recommend this establishment unless you want to be treat with rudeness, unprofessialism and poor customer service. Spent over $250 dollars had ruined evenning by whole experience.
update 02/17/09
I was contacted by general manager today of the sky room regarding my exp. listed above. He was very professional in his letter and stated he was new GM since 02/09. I am very pleased with his fast respond and are going to try the sky room again in future once he does some house cleanning with his staff. Hopefully the sky room will improve under his management.
Great evening-Highly recommened! – Last Saturday night, my husband and I celebrated our 7 year anniversary at The Sky Room. We had a fabulous time, the food was amazing, service was impeccable, and the music was fantastic. We will have lifelong memories about that evening and I would highly recommend The Sky Room for any special occasion.
Worst Experiance Ever: Below is a letter that I wrote to the Sky Room after an evening there. – I am writing today to share my experience while I attended a wedding reception at your facility. I would first like to compliment the staff that worked the reception. They were fantastic, providing everything we needed and were extremely polite. However, there was one individual which soured a portion of my evening, so much so that I felt compelled to write this letter. His name was Charlie. This gentlemen was extremely rude to me and several others in my party when several of us attempted to visit the Sky Bar upstairs.
I would like to make it clear that we all understood that the Sky Bar was not included in the wedding package and that it was a completely reasonable expectation for us to purchase drinks if we chose to lounge or smoke there, but this gentlemen was out of line with his attitude. As oppose to asking us politely if we could purchase some drinks to use that area he "demanded" it (although we never objected to buying any drinks in the first place). At this point my party purchased two rounds of drinks for everyone and several more were purchased individually (I purchased several myself for others, as I do not drink) and even still this man was rude.
As the evening continued many others had more than a few words to say about Charlie, but I tried to see things from his point of view, although I don't think he had to be offensive as he was. However he lost the last of my respect when, while I was getting ready to leave and gathering the people I was driving home, he insinuated that I was lying to him about my intentions to look for others in my party upstairs. He insisted that I was trying to sneak a cigarette. A lack of tact or manners is one thing, but to call a paying guest a liar is intolerable.
I should hope that you take this letter into consideration when reviewing your relationship with this employee, because The Sky Room has now lost my business as well as any from my friends, relatives, or business clients.
we had an amazing time at the sky room. it was one of the best fine dining experiences I have had. I do not know what these other reviews are talking about, my guess is they are disgruntled former employees? I highly recommend the sky room. there is nothing like it. the food, the view, the services are top notch. if you want a really romantic evening, this is the place!
Run dont walk away from this place – Me and my husbad went the the Sky Room on a Tuesday night for 8:30 reservations. We did not get seated until almost 9:30 and maybe it was because there were 6 of us.....The food is very expensive!!! My mouth dropped as I saw the menu..2 lobster tails are $95 and that comes with no sides....Lucky they had a special that night which was surf & turf for $88 and it came with potatoes & a vegie....I can say the lobster was really good & the filet I got was awful....While we were waiting for our table we told the bartender we need a drink if we were going to have to wait so long and he gave us a bottle of champagne for free so at least they TRY to accomadte people...I just would not go there again...Oh and if you have 5 or more people they charge 20% gratuity to your bill...So for 2 surf and turfs & one drink each for me and my husband our portion of the bill came out to $250....NICE!

Easy Cleaning
How do I clean my bunnies cage easier?
My rabbit cage is very difficult to clean. Does anyone know of any cages rabbits are easy to clean? Or do you have any suggestions on how to facilitate cleaning your rabbit cage easy? Thank you!
Well, if the pot is too difficult to slide, try to spray a little cooking spray on the bottem of it, also spray a bit on the stop, then add litter or bedding, I use perferr woodships, because they feel SOOO much better when they are wet. You should also try to train bedding your rabbit, which makes cleaning easier. For tips training litter email me at firstname.lastname@example.com Also, try to get a cat box scooping, with small holes, it can help save the shavings. Some ideas and I do not use for bedding are the following-* YES Pine wood chips / wood shavings * Ceder, you can make them yourself, by sawing some wood to use for other uses for your family, or rabbits. * NO * shredded newspaper I woulden't use sheets of all the newspapers, because they stick, and can be yucky to clean * You can use cat litter, but it does not smell, or work the greatest I clean the cage once every 2-3 days, and if you litter train, litter pan clean every 1-2 days. Also for more tips on training e-mail me firstname.lastname@example.com

LA Mayoral Race 2013: Firefighters' union endorses Wendy Greuel for mayor (updated)
Dan Steinberg/AP
The union that represents Los Angeles city firefighters is backing Wendy Greuel for mayor. In 2009, UFLAC spent almost $25,000 to support her race for city controller.
The union that represents Los Angeles' firefighters endorsed Wendy Greuel for mayor Wednesday, saying she will make government more "accountable." Unted Firefighters of Los Angeles City represents 3,600 firefighters and paramedics.
This is the second public safety union to back the Greuel campaign. Earlier this month, the Los Angeles Police Protective League endorsed her for mayor.
"Wendy will work to create jobs and expand our middle class so families across the city can prosper," said UFLAC Local 112 President Frank Lima in a statement. "She'll prioritize public safety so we can put an end to the dysfunctional Fire Department deployment plan that increases LAFD response times."
The endorsement could mean more money — and therefore more exposure — for Greuel. In Greuel's 2009 race for city controller, UFLAC spent $24,982 on an independent expenditure in her favor. When Mayor Jim Hahn ran for reelection in 2005, the union spent more than $394,000 to support his candidacy, according to the Ethics Commission.

I wanted a thread dedicated to recommendations. It's a good reason to come here. I read the opinions on collected books (and stand alones) and put it in the list to consider obtaining. It would be a list of books with the pertinent information maybe a small opinion or description. Including the genre and publisher and that is it. Make the titles big, enlarged font that way once the list becomes super long it would be easier to rifle through. Some type of semi standard format to make it easier to search, since physically searching would be one way to look at a list.
the request for recommends comes up often enough. What Image? or what manga? or what ever they are interested in. If the genre and publisher are included in the list that would be helpful. At minimum it would defeat the posters who question every word and it's definition.
I dislike how tons of threads get sidetracked (across the internet) on what is written and what is implied. I understand there are many languages to consider yet I believe you will "get it" eventually or a small misunderstanding can be specifically handled. I wanted to start one and even asked other CBR posters to contribute...that way the "format" if Big title, info, opinion would be well represented and others could simply follow. I might still do it but I cant do anything until next year. I might lose my house and I am concerned more about that than a comic list. Once that is settled though... I would love to do it. In the meantime maybe someone else could start one...somewhere. Just write the publisher in the info(DC Marvel, independent, self published. just where ever it comes from and not worry about it's place on the forum.)
Very little or no tangents.
we have the people. We could do it. It would take some time to build but once it is done it would be awesome. Double and triple entries welcome. different books" deluxe versus softcover versus different opinons. multiple entries would not hurt anything. No need to search the thread to see if it's been done already. that would be once the list becomes massive...
to me that list would be better than the list of books that are coming out and the thread list of what people have picked up. It would be the
thread that lists what the people read and cared enough to write a synapsis/review for our fellow collectors. Just thinking outloud. I guess I don't know where it would be in the forums. Probably communityforum?

This fall the Pew Research Center, in association with TIME magazine, conducted a nationwide poll surveying 2,691 people exploring current marital trends and the modern American family. The results of those findings were published in an article TIME entitled, "Who Needs Marriage? A Changing Institution." That article instigated an eruption of media attention on the subject. CNN.com asked, "Is Marriage Becoming Obsolete?" and both MSNBC.com and The Washington Post answered the question by stating that "Four in 10 Say Marriage Is Becoming Obsolete." Several of my friends having read these articles text, tweet, Facebook messaged, emailed and called me to find out, "Did you read this? What do you think? Is marriage becoming obsolete?"
As most of us already know, the type of value placed on marriage in previous generations, is not the same type of value our current generation places on marriage today. This is the result of several factors:
- The High Divorce Rate: With the US divorce rate being as high as 50%, most men and women in our generation are not running to the altar in the way they did in the past. Our generation is more cautious when it comes to marriage and takes more precautions before doing so.
- Women Empowerment: As women are able to attain higher education and obtain job and financial security, they no longer look to their husband to fulfill this role. Now finding a marital partner with a similar socioeconomic status is deemed more desirable.
- Birth Control: The advent of the birth control pill and other contraceptives evoked a sexual revolution where women are able to have sex with less concern about having a child out of wedlock.
- Lack of Societal Pressure: As sociologists mentioned in the TIME article, marriage is no longer the "ultimate marriage badge" or the "demarcation of adulthood." Society accepts that one can have a happy and fulfilling life, obtain a successful career, enjoy a balanced personal life, and even raise children without being in a marital situation.
Despite these conditions, the interesting fact is that people still do want to be married. According to the Pew poll, six in ten Americans still want to be married and although 44% of Americans under 30 believe marriage is heading for extinction, only 5% of those in that age group did not want to become married. In fact, the survey found Americans were more pessimistic about the nation's education system and its economy than it was about the future of the American family. With such a contradiction, perhaps a better title for TIME's article would have been, "Why Do Americans Need To Be Married? With sociologists even noting that Americans are among the highest in the Western world when it comes to their marriage and remarriage rates (additionally, the American divorce rate is higher than most European countries). So why do Americans need to marry?
It is my belief that America will not become a country of cohabitating couples because our country was founded on Christian principles and highly values freedom of religion. What religion do you know that does not value marriage and family? Therefore, the institution of marriage is not becoming obsolete (at least not in America). In order for this to happen, the fundamentals of American values and principles would have to dramatically change and I do not see that happening anytime soon.
So if the value placed on marriage has changed but marriage is not becoming obsolete, what is it becoming? It's evolving. Marriage is no longer primarily an economic and social institution. It's now a personal union based on the spiritual, emotional, physical and mental partnership of two equal parties. That's why in an upcoming blog, you'll see me talk about what psychologist, Steve Brody calls "The 3 C's: Chemistry, Commitment, Communication." These are the current values people are seeking in a marriage today and what is necessary to maintain one. Therefore if you think marriage is becoming obsolete or extinct, think again.
Do you think marriage is becoming obsolete? Why do you think Americans need to be married?

The 9/11 Wars
Jason Burke - Author
Throughout the 1990s a vast conflict was brewing. The storm broke on September 11th 2001. Since then much of the world has seen invasions, bombings, battles and riots. Hundreds of thousands of people have died. Jason Burke, a first-hand witness of many of the conflict's key moments, has written the definitive account of its course in his acclaimed book The 9/11 Wars.
At once investigation, reportage and contemporary history, The 9/11 Wars is an essential book for understanding the dangerous and unstable twenty-first century. Whether reporting on the riots in France or the attack on Mumbai, suicide bombers in Iraq or British troops fighting in Helmand, Jason Burke tells the story of a world that changed forever when the hijacked planes flew out of the brilliant blue sky above Manhattan on September 11th.

I wear Desiree at least five days a week. I changed the style, and cut a little from the back and front. There was just a little too much hair for me. With a part on the side, I made it my style. I was disappointed with the color. What happened to the highlights? The Desiree that I received was all one color. This is my second Desiree. Over all,I like this wig. I receive compliments daily, or asked who did my hair.

Academic Internships
The Summer 2014 Academic Internship Application Deadline is Friday, June 27th, 2014 at 5 PM.
What is an Academic Internship at Clark?
An academic internship is a credit-bearing, career-related work experience of limited duration in which an individual takes on responsible roles outside of the traditional university environment in a non-profit organization, government office or for-profit business.
Internships must include training and supervision. Depending on the employer, some internship positions are paid. This valuable form of professional training provides students with the opportunity to test their career interests in an off-campus setting. Sophomores, juniors, or seniors may earn academic credit for internships during the fall, spring or summer terms.
Note: Undergraduate students MUST read the Academic Credit Internship Program Description (PDF) in order to apply for an internship for credit at Clark. Graduate students do not use this paperwork; instead, they work with their academic departments to obtain credit.
Clark Students Write About Their Internship Experiences
BRIAN—Comcast SportsNet New England, General Newsroom
- What are the tasks you work on for this organization?
- Comcast SportsNet New England is a sports broadcasting and news network based in New England
that focuses on the professional and collegiate sports in the area. Aside from a strong lineup
of sport discussion and sport news programming, CSNNE also is the main carrier for the Boston Celtics
basketball and New England Revolution soccer games.
My official title is "General Newsroom Intern." Basically, my role is to assist producers and directors in selecting and creating stories to report on our shows: SportsNet Central, Mohegan Sun Sports Tonight, Celtics Now, Sports Sunday, Celtics Pregame LIVE, Celtics Postgame LIVE, and the Baseball Show. I usually begin my shift by looking through online sources and the Associated Press to research possible stories for the later broadcasts. At 6 p.m. I go into the control room and assist with the live broadcast of SportsNet Central. After that the interns are usually assigned a game, sometimes two or three, to watch. From there we clip and edit a highlight reel to be used in the 10:30 broadcasts of SportsNet Central. Interns are also responsible for writing shot sheets for the anchors so they know what the highlight reel contains. After all of this, I will assist with the broadcast of the 10:30 show and, depending on the status of any high profile games or stories that may still be developing, the interns get to go home.
- What have you learned through the internship?
- I have gotten hands-on experience with the different multimedia equipment and in the broadcast control room. At CSNNE, they really like the interns to branch out and do as much as possible during their time there. One aspect of sports broadcasting I was interested in was live field reporting during sporting events and so I was able to go with a game day crew to a Boston Bruins game to work and experience the world of sports reporting. It has definitely given me a newfound appreciation for the way live broadcasts, not just sporting events, are produced and conducted. I feel these experiences have strengthened both my interest in professional sports and also my skills and knowledge of the industry which are important to furthering my career.
- How did you find this internship opportunity?
- I found the internship with help from the Career Services staff on the Clark Recruiter database.
JOE—NASA Goddard Space Flight Center
- What were the specific tasks you worked on for this organization?
- My work will involve learning about the mathematical and physical behavior of stationary, nonstationary and stochastic systems. Most of the analytical modeling that I will be conducting will be done with the help of MatLab. Some of my work will include analysis of data collected by Aquarius, an orbiting satellite that uses a radiometer to measure the salinity of Earth's oceans.
- What have you learned from this internship?
- I had been meaning to gain some simple programming skills and I have some now. I learned a lot of things here that I would never have learned at school. I wish I could have dug deeper into the research and analysis; however, I ran into some obstacles with my data sets that required a lot of data "tweaking" and was a distraction. My mentor was very helpful though with any problems I came across in my research and he would often help me work out a problem in person and also point me to several helpful books that described related phenomenon or methods of analysis.
- How did you first find out about your internship opportunity?
- It was listed in the school's Student Digest that NASA was looking for undergraduate researchers.
DANIELLE—Center for Families at Children's Hospital
- What were the specific tasks you worked on for this organization?
- I helped to run a bereavement clinic for parents and families who had lost a child, this included planning, running group discussions, transcribing several hours of notes and conversations, and writing a detailed summary of the event, which I presented to the people I worked with. I also presented at the 2nd Annual Conference for Patient and Family-Centered Care. This is an invitational conference that was held in Boston. I had to prepare a presentation of the work I had done with teenage patients as well as with families and give a talk on it. Additionally, I supervised several patients, siblings of patients, and volunteers who make up the Teen Advisory Committee as they filmed a short documentary, created a website, and planned a hospital-wide presentation about the Teen Advisory Committee and what they do. I also helped to plan two hospital-wide events for teenaged patients.
- What have you learned from this internship?
- I was able to interact with patients, improve communication skills, work independently, and actively problem solve under intense situations. I was also able to form relationships with families.
- How did you first find out about your internship opportunity?
- I found out about the internship since I have been working there for 6 years.

Multiple Sclerosis: Treating Multiple Sclerosis with Botox
What Is Botulinum Toxin?
Botulinum toxin is a muscle-relaxing medication used to decrease spasticity related to multiple sclerosis and other neurological conditions.
Botulinum toxin is derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum and is in a class of drugs called neurotoxins. There are three types of botulinum toxin available for therapeutic use:
Botox has been FDA-approved for the treatment of upper limb spasticity in adults. Myobloc and Dysport are approved by the FDA for the treatment of a condition marked by repetitive contraction of the neck muscles (cervical dystonia).
What Is Spasticity?
Spasticity refers to a wide range of involuntary muscle contractions that result in muscle spasms or stiffness. Spasticity interferes with voluntary muscle movement and usually involves the muscles of the legs and/or arms.
Spasticity may vary, based on many factors, including infections, stress, pain, temperature, position and time of the day. Over time, severe spasticity may cause decreased range of motion in the affected limbs.
Spasticity is the result of an imbalance in the central nervous system, caused by a trauma or disease in the brain and/or spinal cord. This imbalance causes hyperactive muscle stretch reflexes, which result in involuntary contractions and increased muscle tone.
Some doctors believe that an increased sensitivity in the parts of the muscles that are responsible for contracting (tightening), relaxing and stretching the muscles contribute to spasticity.

|Denver, Glendale Open Elite Cup
|Clubs - Top Club Leagues
The Elite Cup officially kicks off Saturday when the Denver Barbarians host the Glendale Raptors at Shea Stadium in Highlands Ranch, Colo.
This will be the third of four meetings between Glendale and Denver this competitive cycle. The Barbos beat the Raptors at the Aspen Ruggerfest in September and at Infinity Park in October.
The latter match was a DI league contest. With both sides at full strength, the Barbos won 29-26 on a late penalty from Maximo DeAchaval.
This rivalry is probably the fiercest in American club rugby. Lots of people involved in different capacities with these clubs don't like their counterparts, and several players have switched their allegiances going both ways, and then back again.
Barbo fullback/flyhalf Taylor Howden is a former Raptor. Center Christian Sarmento was with Glendale, then went to the Barbos and is now back with Glendale. Those are just two examples, and there are several more.
"Obviously, there's a personal rivalry amongst some of the players, but I just look at it as another game," said Glendale head coach Andre Snyman. "I'm trying to manage the team to not get involved emotionally on a personal level in the game."
The Raptors have bolstered their roster since the fall, adding several talented players, like former Notre Dame running back and Aspen 7s player James Aldridge, former 7s All American and Sacramento Lion Brett Willis, former Eagle (and Barbos) scrumhalf Dave Williams, former Palmer flyhalf Chad London and former BYU and All American scrumhalf Shaun Davies. Aldridge and Willis have moved to Glendale to participate in the Olympic Development Program.
"The new players have slotted in quite nicely. The club has accepted them. They definitely make a difference, and it's good to have other players who had injuries back again," said Glendale coach Andrew Snyman.
"I've got some tough decisions to make. There's quite a lot of depth in certain positions, and unfortunately I can only pick 23 guys. It's going to be a tough decision for me to make towards the end of the week."
Back from injury or duty elsewhere are guys like wing and fullback Iniki Fa'amausili, who had been training with Tiger Rugby at the Columbus ODP, lock and No. 8 Casey Rock, who had spent some time playing overseas, and back-rower Mike Kenyon, who is coming off a nasty leg injury.
"Casey Rock is back. He's healthy. Mike Kenyon is back. He's healthy. His fitness is not where I would have liked it to be, but he's definitely on the recovery road. He's played three games in the preseason, he started all three games," said Snyman.
"Guys like James Aldridge, Brett Willis, they're more specialized 7s players, but they transition pretty good into 15s as well, and at the end of the day, I'm in a very fortunate position to have all these players."
Snyman is perhaps most fortunate to have Davies. He gives the Raptors a legitimate Eagle prospect at No. 9, a position where Glendale has had inconsistency the last couple of years. Davies has been growing his relationship with flyhalf Ata Malifa early this spring.
"It looks like the combination is getting stronger and stronger at each training and each game. Obviously, Shaunie is still new to the system. I've coached Ata for two years now so he knows my style of rugby, what I'd like to achieve," said Snyman.
"Shaunie is still new, so he makes one or two errors every now and again, but he's a good enough player and has the skills to adapt quickly. It's beneficial to have on our team. He brings a different dimension."
